VICTORIAN DEFENCE
A RIDICULOUS POSITION. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. MELBOURNE, March 16. (Received March 16, at 10.27 a.m.) Lieutenant-colonel Ballanger intends to resign the command of the Victorian artillery. He complains that he has held the artillery command for three years practically without guns. The department is in a ridiculous position in regard to the new 18-poundere ordered from Europe. A number of guns are on hand, but they are incomplete, and there is no ammunition for them.
